Jim says there can be only one. 37:02 yes This week, your hosts spend way too much time talking about Baby Yoda merch and laughing at Reddit and not near enough time trying to put sharp pointy objects into attractions for Epic Universe. However, Scottye does eventually get around to inviting guests into his Knives Land, which may have originally been planned for California Adventure before they settled on Superstar Limo. Then, Jim creates two rides in one as he creates and destroys Highlanders in an attraction that he didn't actually name in the episode but probably has something to do with a Quickening or at least Mr. Krabs. Future note: Please do not relieve yourself in the queue for Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railaway, no matter how funny you'll think it'll be posted on the internet later. disney, disney world, universal studios, design, imagineering, engineering, architecture, reddit, space mountain, peter pan's flight, bumper cars, knives out, great movie ride This week, your hosts spend way too much time talking about Baby Yoda merch and laughing at Reddit and not near enough time trying to put sharp pointy objects into attractions for Epic Universe.

Jim wears a suit. 34:59 yes This week, we look at the big show-stopping attractions for each side of our new theme park. Jim, having done little preparation last week, gets more in-depth on his vision for his side of the park and its new showcase attraction The Golden Coaster, because when one is talking theme park history, it's hard to ignore how important the coaster is. The attraction also includes exhibits, ways to design your own coaster (think CyberSpace Mountain), and other fun surprises. Meanwhile, Scottye takes his guests on a tour of The Secrets Of The Unicorn. In this zero-drink minimum family-fun attraction (a phrase no one in the theme park business has probably ever typed before), guests travel to the cave of the mystical unicorn and help it wage war against Rat Fink, who is seemingly the mascot of this side of the park. Afterward, enter the requisite gift shop/requisite-for-this-park bar to try some Cave Water, which is apparently just a Blue Hawaiian but probably in some kind of souvenir container for an exorbitant price. This is a theme park after all. This week, we look at the big show-stopping attractions for each side of our new theme park.
